Las Vegas Sands Corporation / 747SP-31 / VP-BLK / 02-06-2011 / HKG

            Departing low, loud & heavy nonstop for LAS & counted my blessings that the light was good!

VP-BLK was withdrawn from use & flown to Kansas City on May 1 2024 where it's supposedly, although unlikely in my opinion, going to be acquired & used by another owner. 

Both their SPs never failed to draw crowds when there was advanced notice of an arrival or departure. A phenomenal experience each time you saw them.
